Fritillaria imperialis ‘Aurora’

Description

Although some fritillarias may be subtle little beauties, there’s nothing shy about Fritillaria imperialis ‘Aurora’. Crown Imperial fritillarias wear a crown of pointed green leaves at the tips of their tall flower stems, and just beneath that, the crowning glory of their rich orange, pendulous blooms provides a striking display of colour. Thanks to its regal stature, Fritillaria imperialis ‘Aurora’ is sure to stand out, even when planted as a background for your brightly coloured spring garden flowers. On their own, crown imperials are a notable feature, combined with other blooms, they’re the top note of the floral harmony.
